Coen & the Boys

The whole family is a little tired!

Baby Coen is born!

Baby Coen Clark was born on June 1 at 3:44 p.m. in Memphis, TN. He is 8 lbs 6 oz and 21 inches tall. We call him our screech owl because he has this funny little screech that he does.

Roger Speaking about Japan

I gave a concert at First Baptist Church in downtown Jacksonville, Florida as part of their evening service on May 3, 2009. I am told 5,000 people were in attendance. This excerpt is what I said about Japan during the service. My wife, Abi, was just about to give birth to our third son at this time, hence the comments about babies in the beginning.

Radio Broadcast - Gospel & Mission

Asami Odate, director of five choirs in Japan and leader of the Gospel Origins Tour, and Abi Lowther were interviewed on 94.5 FM in Helena - West Helena, Arkansas on October 14, 2008. This interview was broadcast on Thanksgiving Day as a Thanksgiving Special, to spread the word of how God is using gospel music to bring people to himself around the world. The Japanese gospel choir then sang on the radio. Click on the two movies below to hear the broadcast.

Pictures from the trip

The group also enjoyed picking cotton, shooting guns, riding in the back of pick-up trucks, riding a huge rice picker, singing on the radio, and sitting in the cockpit of a crop duster. Here are some pictures from the trip along with music recorded at one of their events.
